Curling vs bowls
In the world of sports media, the transition from a simple "behind-the-scenes" shoot to a full-scale broadcast delivery is often where complexity—and costs—can spiral. At Monumont Studios, we’ve built our reputation on bridging that gap. Our recent work on the Glasgow 2026: Curling vs. Bowls crossover is the perfect case study in how we provide "big-box" broadcast depth with the agility of a boutique studio.
The Problem: The "Silent" Broadcast
Most mid-sized productions hit a ceiling when it comes to audio. Capturing the visual of a bowl hitting a jack is easy; capturing the whispered tactical shifts between three bowlers and three curlers is where most setups fail. Usually, this level of sonic detail requires a bloated external sound team and a forest of cables.
The Monumont Solution: We internalized the "audio problem." By engineering an in-house matrix of 9 simultaneous audio sources—including 6 individual lavalier mics for every athlete, a dedicated plant mic, and two directional shotguns—we captured the psychological chess match of the game without the overhead of a massive outside crew.
Versatility in Delivery
A premium production isn't just about the live moment; it’s about the assets that live on. For Glasgow 2026, we didn't just "film a match"—we delivered a comprehensive media ecosystem:
The 4-Camera Master: A high-end YouTube feature that captured the geometry and tension of the crossover.
The Interview Suite: On-site Vox Pop interviews with tailored lighting setups to give the athletes a voice and the brand a narrative.
Isolated Audio & Visuals: Clean tracks and multi-angle feeds that provide endless longevity for social cuts and future marketing.
Subtle Scale, Absolute Impact
This project highlights the core of the Monumont philosophy: elasticity. Our clients often start with us for a single-camera function—a high-quality social reel or a brand interview. But as the vision grows, so do we. Whether it’s a solo creator or a synchronized 4-camera broadcast rig with complex RF audio, the transition is seamless. We provide the technical infrastructure so our partners can focus on the story, knowing the scale is already handled.
"We don't just fill a role; we solve the technical barriers that usually stand between a good idea and a world-class broadcast."
At Monumont, we aren't just your camera team. We are the technical architects of your most ambitious productions.
